Down 0.4 and was "helping"

life has been very very busy this week...I managed to pull off a 0.4 loss even though I've been slightly neglecting my healthy choices.... I've had very little time to even be on the internet let alone check blogs... I actually came home sick form work today so I could spend the afternoon for myself..
I've managed to get on 4-40 mins walks this week....
Last night re-motivated me as I was getting my training as community helper at the meeting...I weighed people in and provided information for those at the scale...it was AWESOME...

I'm totally not letting myself get discouraged with the small loss this week- only a motivation to do better next week.... hope your all doing well- I intend to catch up with you all today... *hugs*

I apologize for the late check-in on the healthy you challenge...My WI is wednesday and I don't have a scale at home...

wow- just opend my google reader and I have 429 posts to catch up on...its at this point I wonder if I should bow out of the challenge and go this alone..... I'll do my best to check them all and then make a decision to leave or stay....I really truely have enjoyed meeting you all but I need whatever free time i have to exercise and meal plan not sitting for hours on my butt checkin blogs....

now 2 hrs later and 1 load of laundry.. I'm at 338 to read....
now 1 hr later (and another load of laundry) and I'm at 312 to read...but filing through Mr Linky...I"m thinking I'm going to abolish google reader and then just do the Mr Linky checkin for all my fellow challengers....I usually scroll back a couple of messages on there blogs to see what is going on... we'll see
hope your all doing well...

I LOST 8 pds!!!


WOW_---- I have to say that is a MAJOR surprise....I think having my TOM and detoxifying after christmas by staying totally on plan and drinking my water....was the story for success this week!!!
this week has been good- I feel very motivated, the only thing that is discouraging/worrying me is getting to everyones blogs...some days I'm at work now fo 10-11 hrs and then I have to come home/cook dinner/ try and walk-exercise....so I may not be able to get to everyone more then once a week...but I commit to getting there once a week!!! and I won't be able to update untill Wed because that is my WI
other then that WW program worked for me, and I'll be continuing on this week- I really need some more exercise....and I REALLY will need to be strong and avoid quick/easy/bad choices...

up 6 pds!!!

wow- am I ever motivated to loose that and everything else I have to loose!!!
meeting was good tonight, not very busy- guess everyone is waiting for a couple of weeks?!

work was ok- SOOO much to do in preparation for our next facility opening...

So I've been having a pretty postive outlook on my gain- it was my own fault, and i knew I'd be up-- but I have to admit it was VERY defeating to have to change my ticker to the h....igher weight... but onward and upward...

I feel like a failure...

I did everything proper this week and even started jogging and drank all my water and I gained 2 pds.... I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoping to have a 2.4 pd loss so I could get my 25pd but instead I got my 16weeks...and am still at 20 pds lost...I actually cried at the scale and all the way home....(which of course led to some self destructive eating) not feeling very much like myself right now

The meeting was really small but was a supportive group of ladies- Glad to be part of the group to be set up for success this year

I jogged again!!

this time with the light posts- I'd tell myself I could quit at the next one but then while I was doing it I would convince mself to make it to the next driveway!!it was good- I was out there for 40mins tonight!!!
Woo woo woo

got my craft collage made for DH's office, organized christmas, ate within my points, still have a couple left over, got all my F?V....in all it was a pretty good day!!!

tomorrow I'll have to get in my "last chance workout" before WI WEd....have a minor challenge on WEd- I have to head to vancouver for a training session on the new gym equipment we've bought for 'my' community centre....(yes this fatty is learning how to train people on gym equipment- ironic? I think so) ANYWAYS...I usually am pretty ritualisitc on eats before WI...so I"m hoping this little journey won't throw me too bad...

anyways take care all--its funny I don't know why I write that- there doesn't seem to be anyone reading this :)

Down 2 pds at WW WI

good times good times...the scale moved downwards for me tonight---hip hip hooray

After all that stress over the weekend water retention gain- I made it just a little bit closer to the goal.

Watched biggest loser last night- i would give anything to be on that show, it would be sooooo amazing to be able to loose that much weight and get that intense training....even though there is no blue team it was still a good show- I'm excited for the finally next week--- it would be VERY cool to see a femail Biggest loser!!!

meeting was good tonight- the leader isn;t the most dynamic public speaker however gives good information- that is my secret desire to be a leader when I get to goal ...'new' program isn't new- its just reprinted...however the kick start book may be helpful

Life is good otherwise- my mom's visit went very well with DH- I think it was a small victory!!!
Work is VERY busy....but thats to be expected the communtiy centre opens in Feb and all the prep is happening now...

Just spending some time surfing blogs, I had a list of people that I was reading/checking but I started looking through there lists of blogs they read and you know what??---there is a LOT more interesting people then me :) so that is why nobody visits me....

I've just hooked up the Google "reader" as posted on http://weigh-les.blogspot.com/ so now I'll get updated when theres new posts instead of checking each of my book marks..however now I want to snoop around and read more peoples blogs!! there is SOOOO many out there...

anyways if someone is reading this-- thank-you thank-you

Down 0.6

grrr...ohwell I wasn't OP all last week- just 3 days so I guess I need to count my blessings....
Had my normal Wed night pig out and then took the DOG for a walk, waiting patiently for DH to get home from Vancouver...I bought another christmas present for him tonight...I'm getting closer, he's really hard to by for and apparently I don't always listen when he talks and drops hints!!!

other then that it was a good day...back on track tomorrow- I plan to be a little off on Friday night for my christmas party and sunday for a pre-christmas turkey dinner at a long time friends house (she's visiting now in lieu of christmas)..

Tomorrow will be a long-ish work day, gotta pack my lunch

woo wooo wooo down 2.8

I'm pumped, excited, happy!! At my WI i was down 2.8 for a total lost of 20.2 in 11 weeeks!!

I'm going through withdrawls one of my favorite websites isn't working tonight- Dotties Weight Loss Zone http://www.dwlz.com/- the message board isn't loading tonight AAAAAAAHHHHHHH....what is a girl to do????

Now I gotta get back to my post-WI feast, a wednesday night tradition to allow me to get all my cravings out of the way and back OP tomorrow!!!

Fat Prison- seen on a couple different websites-

I want to tell you about a very unusual sort of prison. It's called Fat Prison. Why is it so unusual? Because it's completely voluntary.
No one sends us to Fat Prison, we send ourselves!

What's it like to be a fat prisoner? The rules are very strict. To begin with, each prisoner must wear regulation uniform. This consists of a baggy skirt or elasticated pants. Most prisoners pretend they don't mind walking around in this shapeless uniform, but secretly they hate it. They'd much rather walk down the street in a slim pair of jeans.
Exercise is strictly controlled Swimming or playing with children is forbidden. And no prisoner may walk more than a few yards at a time. The penalties for breaking this rule include sweating, shortness of breath, soreness and fatigue. After a few years without any sort of proper exercise, prisoners become so soft that the very idea of movement terrifies them. If you don't believe me, go up to a fat prisoner and suggest a nice long walk in the fresh air!
Everyday life The main feature of everyday life inside Fat Prison is tiredness. Prisoners carry lots of extra weight around on their bodies, so not surprisingly they suffer from chronic fatigue. Result? After doing their daily chores, most of them slump down exhausted in front of the TV.
Even when they allow themselves a night out, many prisoners find it difficult to enjoy themselves. They feel awkward about their shape so instead of mixing with other people they tend to sit in the corner with other fat prisoners.
Prison Mentality After many years of locking themselves away inside their Fat Prison, many prisoners develop a prison mentality. They lose confidence in themselves and their ability to "go straight". They look at slim people and think: "I'm never going to be like them!" They think they are doomed to stay in Fat Prison, forever. Result? They let themselves go completely.
Bad for Health Fat Prison is very bad for prisoners health. Don't forget, the greater our weight, the greater the strain on our joints and spine. And the fatter we grow, the harder our heart has to work to keep us going. No wonder so many fat prisoners get ill!
Depressing Fat Prison is a depressing experience, not only for the prisoners but also for their families. In fact, the children of fat prisoners often grow up to become prisoners themselves. It's a vicious cycle.
Question So why do so many people end up in Fat Prison? And even more important, why don't they leave once they discover how awful it is?
Answer Because they prefer to eat cookies, chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, doughnuts, fatty meat and creamy desserts. They know that this stuff makes them fat but they don't care. They'd rather go to prison than give up their regular mouthful of fat. *Some may have other reasons
Are you a fat prisoner? Have you locked yourself up in your own private Fat Prison? If so, here's some advice. Don't waste another day of your life in jail. Get out now!
All you have to do is stop eating junk and start eating properly and you can walk free tomorrow.
It may take a few months before your weight returns to normal, but your tiredness will lift immediately and within a week you'll feel ten times better. So what are you waiting for?Get out of your Fat Prison today and start really living!
